Giving Poem by Elizabeth Tyease Collins

I felt this way of self respect
and I never thought this would happen to me.
What I want, wasn't love, but to feel like I'm
needed.
Hold me close and don't let go,
let go of the times when I felt this world go cold.

Simpler than you realize I'm nothing more but a person
on this Earth to exceed your every wish
to make you feel wasted
to make you feel t home
safe in my arms.

I'll give my all to make you smile
even if inside I cry
even if all I want to do is lie
this world completely alone I'll try and try.
